Our ancestors rose With the first dawn

to gather green boughs and garlands
whereWith 20 deck their churches and
homesteads. Maidens went out early to
gather the dew of May. washing their
faces and amounting their tresses with the
delicious moisture from flowers May
day was twelve days later than now .
The May pole was once a great institu,
ton, Lads and lasses decorated il with
flowers and danced round it with merry
songs and light gaiety. Pen.
nant, the historian. tells us that in the
Highlands they had special cake which
they ate at their May day festival called
the ''beltein." In Ireland similar prac
tce prevailed. In every farm nous,
there was feast, and curds and whey
New butter and cheese shared with the
shamrock the honors of the time

hone, comes like herald OF the summer
The bees nuke their booming iii ht

After the prenatural activity of the Chi

same impression produced 10y the study of one
of Dore's sketches of the lost souls of Dante,
forever toiling in the gloom of the neither
world, the next thing that strikes the stranger
is the peculiar odor that fills the air; and that
resembles a combination Of bad tobacco
and the pungent fumes from the punk that
the American small hoy uses OIL the Fourth of
Jua TO light his fire crackers. Mingled with
this is the smell Of unclean streets, the whole
making combination not easily forgotten.
The Able Huck, who Travelled in China in
native dress, declared that he could readily
deceive the people in regard to his nation
ality. as he spoke the language perfectly, and
as long exposure had stained his skin to a
copper color; but the Chinese dogs always
barIed at lis heels, because they detected the
absence OF the national odor. This smell Is
due partly TO the coolies custom of sleephng
in bis clothes, but mainly TO the fact that
the constant smoking of opium and tobacco,
and the preparation Of food at open fires, sub

Alas for all high hopes and all desires!
Like leaves in yellow autumn time they fan.
Alas for prayers and psalms, and loves pure
fires;
One silence and one darkness ends them all
Alas for all mankind fieeting race
Alas, my love, for you and me alas!
Some day death holds us in a close embrace,
We, too, like all the rest, from earth must pass.
Alasi to think we shall forget some hours
Whereof the memory like loves planet CLOVIS
Forget them, as the year her withered flowers
Forget them, as the sun forgets the rose.
Our keenest rapture, our most deep despair.
Our hopes, our breads, our laughter and our
tears
Shall he no more at all upon the air
No more at I'll through all the endless years.
We shall be mute beneath the grass and dow
We stall lie very mute there, in deaths state
And you will be as !, and as you
One sameness shed upon u.s. and one fate.
